Command Usage

You cannot set a null password. You will have to enter a password to change the command mode from Normal Exec to Privileged Exec with the enable command (page 33-1).

The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy password settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the configuration file during system bootup or when downloading the configuration file from a TFTP server. There is no need for you to manually configure encrypted passwords.

Console(config)#enable password level 15 0 admin
